Responsibilities

• In a modular design, differences in the position of driver and chamber assemblies may affect how these sound waves combine.
• Goal The aim of this thesis is to investigate how variations in the height and depth position of modular assemblies affect the acoustic performance of a line-array speaker.
• The work will explore the relationship between mechanical tolerances and factors such as frequency response, phase interaction and sound coverage.
• The project may include physical prototyping and CAD, acoustic measurements, analysis of positional variations, and collaboration with mechanical – and audio engineers.

Requirements

• Two students completing a master thesis, 30 hp each.
• Students interested in acoustics, product development, mechanical design, studying Mechanical Engineering, Product Development and/or Technical Design.
• OK, I am interested!
• The announced thesis is open only to students affiliated with a Swedish University/College either directly or via an exchange program.

Benefits

• There are a few things for you to keep in mind when applying.
